Product Description

Magical lodges are important parts of the Western Mystery Tradition. Their traditional secrecy has made it virtually impossible to learn what lodges do, and how their traditions of ritual, symbolism and organization can be put to work. This book openly discusses the workings of these lodges.

You wanna start a magickal lodge?
This book is excellent for starting a magickal lodge. I'm in a group of seven occultists and this book has offered so many suggestions to keep all of us honest. It explains the lodge structure and whtat it means, and then gives an example of starting a lodge, and then has a fictitious account of a lodge being created from scratch! Great book for establishing a lodge that will last a long time. No spells here, but information that's more important for group work. It's how to keep your group alive and not letting it fall apart.

a remarkable,unique book
There are books on both the history of magic and actual magical rituals,but this is THE book that answers the question:WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN A MAGICAL LODGE and how to set one up,run it and successfully keep it going. The book is in 3 parts: 1.historical and theoretical chapters on the origins of the lodge system and symbolism,secrecy and theoretical lodge structure. 2. chapters 6 to 11 detail everything you need to know on a practical level.chapter 11 details a typical lodge meeting of an imaginary group. the final chapters look at joining a lodge,and deals with legal aspects like tax exemption status and articles of incorporation of the lodge. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
